My brother is in America for work and phoned me about buying a PSP asking whether he will get taxed badly for it. So I said I didn't know and he has bought one anyway and is getting one for me xD

But, well, the thing is... I hear some games can be WiFi'd well how easy would that be to play with specific people. I.E. You? Or don’t you choose your opponent is it just a "quick match" so to speak.

Secondly, what is all this memory stick talk about?

And lastly Does PSP have the same wireless as DS as in do you need 2 copies of the game to play with 2 people or just the 1, like Mario does on the Nintendo DS (I think?)

Ta.

It was Skies. No matter though, I completely forgot to track it and once I'd realised, it was too late :(

Well, it's only the 1st edition on the PSP. :D

Good points:

- Decent graphics - definately not the best, but still pretty good

- 77 things to unlock - 30 stadiums, 6 balls, 27 alternative shirts etc

- All the teams - they've managed to include all 300-odd teams

- Modes - They have World Cup, Champions Cup, Premier League etc for us to play in

- Create a player - really didn't expect them to include this so I was suprised when I saw it

- The camera angles and gameplay work well with the PSP, and the analogue isn't as bad as I thought

So basically, they've almost taken everything from the PS2 version and managed to squeeze it into the PSP which is really good because there is alot to do, but thats what causes the bad points...

Bad Points:

- The navigation - It isn't very responsive and when choosing a mode or a team it will take a few seconds to load up the next bit, tbh though - it isn't as bad as the console version.

- Glitches - During a match there seem to be a few glitches which sometimes ruin the games atmosphere, like when the ball goes wide game kinda freezes for about 2 seconds. It doesn't sound like a big problem but it does kinda ruin the gameplay slightly.

Thats it really, it may seem like there isn't many bad points but the two that I have pointed out are actually quite big problems and if they were sorted out this game would've been so much better.

But still, it's really good fun and it should keep me busy until Pro Evo. And you never know, they might do what Rockstar are (apparently) doing to MC3 and sort out these problems before the European release seeing as it will be bigger in Europe than in the US.

I think it deserves 7/10.

That is all.

I can see myself paying full price for quality original development, I couldn' see myself paying full price for the 60th edition of FIFA.

Different strokes, I guess :).

Because I have no other console except my PSP and I want to play a football game. Plus, even though Lumines is probably alot of fun I cant see myself paying full price for a puzzle game.

I rarely enjoy puzzle games.

I dunno why, but VG+ sent me two manuals, one in spanish (which wasn't inside the box) and one english one which was in the box.

hmmm....

Why buy Fifa, it's a sacrilage to the games industry to give EA free money.

Buy Lumines, it's genuinely a classic :D.
